Scientific (Secular) Morality — Lloyd Harrison Whitling

(The *Third Path, the Path Less Taken)

By Lloyd Harrison Whitling

"That which is most moral of all will produce the greatest amount in duration and quality of pleasure for all of those who bear its expense, with no effect upon the pleasure or expense in terms of loss or pain of those who remain uninvolved."

"To deny a right to the experience of pleasure is immoral unless that denial can be justified by a valid presentation of how pain will result from that experience in an amount that would render the expected pleasure regrettable; or, if it can be shown that pain will be induced in others innocent of any involvement. The role of science in moral issues should be to test that, predict that, and find harmless ways to demonstrate that."

Secular Golden Rule:

"Treat others as they would have you to, for so long as you do not offend your own principles."

* In my lifetime I have become aware that, where arguments seem impossible to settle, we should seek for a third view that both sides overlook. It often turns out to be something that, if when we become aware of it, imposes conditions both sides despise for their own reasons. That third argument often appears most true upon examination, and the way we ought to be going. I call it "the Third Path".
